Re: Harmon Collins build thread ...
Some more assembly for today .......
The shaft appears to be the stock crab unit , the cam has been ground off slightly on one side ( detailed pic to help if ya need the index to grind your own ) On assembly i use a new clearance washer as most are kinda ground up after some use , ( my friend Mike Baker made me some of these a few years back , hes a diehard early Ford guy that owned a machine shop) and i use a smaller snap ring ( From 3rd Generation Mike Driscal) , makes assembly easier and adds a little bit of clearance . ( shaft must spin easy by hand , if it dont ya did something wrong )
Spark retard ring is also pretty standard ring .....
I use spray lube on all these parts and mobil one red grease on bushings etc .
There is a couple mods to the actual case i will address later in the build .
Install the point plate and snap ring and its looking pretty good ........
A note on the peanut butter crackers on the bench , my helper Terry hides them all over the shop and its my job to eat them , dont really like them (not) but it hurts his feelings if i dont keep them ate up ???
